Summary:
In the heart of what makes Manhattan tick, Ruby Foo’s Times Square is creating a buzz of its own amid the glitz and glitter of Broadway’s twinkling lights. Follow the lure of neon beaming from the fifty-foot long sign spelling out the "Ruby Foo's" name. On 49th street, there is no mistaking: the revolving sign beckons passers-by to enter its Shanghai-style banquet setting for Ruby Foo’s signature Pan-Asian cuisine.
Inside this 300-seat, multi-decked "Palace", bold colors, broad decorative strokes, mah-jongg tiled walls and colorful open lobby bar are the visual essence of the Ruby Foo's design. A huge lacquered "red gate" archway is the entrance to the Ruby Foo’s experience, and is accented with the venue's dramatic lighting that includes lanterns replicated from China's "Forbidden City." At the north end, a gold-leafed Buddha keeps a watchful eye over the guests while they peruse Executive Chef Shawn Edelman's vast menu, a collection of delicious deishes from every part of the Asian continent.
For a lighter bite and a piece of the action, score a front row seat at the mega-hit, 20-seat Sushi Bar where sushi chefs put on a show, producing fresh maki rolls and sushi from the daily arrivals of the sea.
For a more well-rounded experience, score a Broadway window table and share (and share alike), because this menu is meant for just that. Feed your addiction to dim sum, and munch on the tamarind-spiced spare ribs as you contemplate your choice of entrees from popular picks like Pad Thai and new style Mu Shu Pork Tenderloin with Hoisin Sauce.
Drink up the latest Broadway buzz with seductive cocktail selections, including the Ruby Foo, what New York Magazine called "an exciting alternative to the ubiquitous Cosmopolitan," or choose from the award-winning, yet reasonably-priced, wine list and other knock-your-socks-off libations.
The best part is all this is open seven days a week for both pre- and post-theatre options. Join us for dinner before your curtain call, or stop by afterwards to get your late-night fix. Too busy to come to us? Our lunch-to-go menu – for 6 or more people – is perfect for corporate in-house meetings in the Times Square neighborhood.
great food at the right price...a favorite of mine whenever in times square and especially before a show. go for a meal or just meet for drinks.
